Dear mother

dear mother don't cry me a river stay frozen don't let the flames melt away on you come bare with me down let the crowd of flames box you in fight it throw them combos you got ma hit 'em with everything in your inventory ma don't let 'em blind you from the brightness fill the river with acid to keep the nightmares ma hold your cub tight for all these nightmares are sweating him with torches and spears dear mother don't cry me a river smile the smile you have to let the sun know its time to come up and let the dark moon that shine light of fire to rest dear mother here is a gift daggers from cub to you use this dagger to lay fears and run down the bloody nightmares dear mother happiness of joy from dimples around the corner dear mother you still cry river of flood i thought i said no rivers crying here put them waterfalls back up stairs dear mother look at the city of flood you cause word to mother its dangerous dear mother gun fire like laser beam don't take over for I'm your vase taking in every shot and spitting it back up like rotten food not sitting right dear mother the ground shakes with thousand ghostly hollows walking shivers from the ghostly talk about their abandon days
